Reunion and Christmas
Eric returned home from Italy for Christmas and we had a wonderful time spending it with family friends. Some highlights include:
-Date night w/ Eric at Melting Pot (yes, a real live date!)
-Spending a few days in Louisville with Eric’s family.
-Eric’s surprise birthday party (thrown by me) at the lakehouse. He turned 30!
-New Year’s with the Griffins. A comfortable “parents” new years complete with two people passing out (tired) during the countdown.
-Surprising Jake (our 5 year old nephew) at tae kwon do with Eric’s return
-Lincoln’s 2nd bday party. An Elvis theme complete with a peanut butter/banana cake (made by my talented sis in law, Jama, and her cake company “Cake Zen”), 3 Elvis appearances, and light saber fights
-Lots of sibling time.
-Buca di Beppo dinner with my family, traditionally done on Xmas eve but due to balancing families, on the 27th.
-Xmas Eve spent in Louisville with Eric’s father and family (with a wonderful Xmas Eve feast), Xmas morning spent with my parents’ in Indiana, a short nap followed by a Xmas at Eric’s brother’s house in Indiana and splitting a dinner at my parents’. Whew!
-Many other get togethers with friends and family.
It was jam packed with family and friends. So happy to be reunited.
